Mike Mahon Rio Rancho March 17-19 Workshop

Rio Rancho, NM, Painting Workshop

March 17-19, 2011

There is still room in Mike's March 17-19 Rio Rancho, NM,
Painting workshop.

Our focus will be on the step-by step painting process from concept to final stroke. You will learn how to maintain control of your painting and at the same time increase spontaneity. The workshop will take place in a convenient facility on HWY 528. All mediums are welcome but demonstrations will be in pastel and oil.

The workshop fee is $325 for the 3 days. Members of RRAA will receive a $50 discount.

Mike Mahon Portrait Workshop Sept. 14-16, 2010

I've had some requests for a portrait workshop this September, so I've set one up for September 14-16 here in Santa Fe. You can find out more about the workshop by downloading the following: www.mmahon.com/Santa_Fe_Portrait_Sept_2010WEB.pdf

There is a $50 discount to any member of the RRAA or the PSNM that registers for this portrait workshop. Since there is such a short notice for this workshop, I thought I'd make it a little easier to register for members of organizations of which I'm a member.

Here are some photos from a portrait demo I did at my portrait workshop this June in Amarillo, Texas.

I will also be doing a pastel demonstration for the Pastel Society of New Mexico, May 8, from 10am to noon. The demo will be mainly about plein air painting. The PSNM meeting will be in the auditorium of the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, which is located at Mountain Road and 19th Street NW, just a block east of the Old Town Plaza. It is open to the public, so you are all welcome.

Below is a short video discussion of a plein air painting I did in front of the gallery in Santa Fe that represents me there.

I'm delighted to be a new member of the Rio Rancho Art Association and invite you to visit my website at http://www.mmahon.com. I teach several workshops each year and my first workshop for 2010 will be held this May in Rio Rancho. We'll be painting plein air along the Rio Grande River. You can check out more information about it on my events calendar at http://mmahon.com/events_calendar.html.

I practically grew up in Red River, NM, and my grandfather was the pharmacist in Taos in the early 1900's when the Taos Society of artists was forming. I have a cousin who was one of the casualties from Taos in the Bataan Death March. So, you see, that even though I moved here from Texas, I have a lot of Northern New Mexico in my history.

I recently posted a YouTube movie sample of a PowerPoint presentation I use in some of my workshops. You can view it below or on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfMAgdS2SPk
